Bridgewater local Joe Savino and Princeton local James Barr are one step closer to bringing Root 22 Dispensary, a small craft cannabis store, to Route 22 in Somerville.
The Somerville Council approved a resolution supporting Savino and Barr's efforts to open their store at the Monday night meeting.
"We feel this will be an asset to the community. The idea is kind of to have a small craft cannabis store," said Barr.
The pair are signing a 10 year lease for the property at the corner of Route 22 East and Gaston Avenue in Somerville with the plan to eventually acquire the property.
Currently, the property houses a Sunoco gas station, which will be completely removed and replaced with a two-story less than 4,000 square-foot store.
